Children and young people's nurses work in a variety of settings dealing with 0 to 18-year-olds as well as providing support, advice and education for parents, close relatives and carers. You will learn about maximising health for children and young people in a hospital and community setting. 50% of your studies will be spent in clinical practice in hospital and community settings, within the NHS and independent sector, across Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale or Salford. You will spend time in a well supported environment, working alongside qualified nurse mentors. In the third year you have the opportunity to go on an international placement to experience care outside of the UK for example, in Sweden or Germany. On successful completion of this course you will have a recognised degree qualification that leads to registration, as a qualified nurse, with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

As a graduate and qualified staff nurse in your chosen field of practice you will be able to apply for a job in either an acute setting such as a hospital or in the community. You may want to work within the NHS or in the public and private sectors for example, a ward, a health centre, a prison, a care home or a hospice.
